Well, \bid\b should be enough, actually. I don't understand why it
seems like the $s in $id$ in your latex buffer have word syntax. I've
just tried both the stock latex-mode and AUCTeX and with both the $s
don't have word syntax.
Could you please put point on such a $ and report the output of M-x
describe-char RET? I'm mostly interested in the line
syntax: $ which means: math
which might be
syntax: w which means: word
on your side for whatever reason.
Also, please try if regexp isearch works as expected, i.e., C-u C-s
\bid\b should also find the id in $id$. If you both have $ in math
syntax and isearch works but consult doesn't, then I'd ask at the
consult community.
Bye,
